I dunno, I like my guitars to look played...

I was thinking on getting some fretboard conditioner, string wipes etc, but is there much point?

I also keep them in their cases and I don't do much else. When changing strings I might put some oil on the board once in a while. I had one crappy mishap when I cracked the headstock off my LP but it was fixed and still plays great.
My opinion, imperfections add character, each guitar I own is named and has a story about the hell I've put them through. To me they have even more value now then when I originally bought them. I am sure some would disagree with me though Strungout180 check this out, this could save you some $$$ http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/intonate.htm This post has been edited by Hammerin Hank: May 22 2008, 04:50 PM -------------------- |

A "care-set" from Dunlop should do the trick, something like this: http://www.thomann.de/fi/dunlop_maintenance_kit.htm

I hold my guitars on a wall mounted holders (like ones in stores)..Its very practical for me to hold them that way...I don't actually use any stuff for cleaning except fast fret for strings..What can you recommend me for cleaning the rosewood fretboard and for the quilt top finish body ?

Bogdan, try to use oil lemon for clean up and feed the rosewood. For the top I just use a tender dry cloth.

I gently wipe the guitar after every practice. It must be clean.

Anything good for quilt top ? I try to use dry cloth but can't get everything off (stains from sweet on gigs etc)

I use fast fret for te strings and then clean them with a cloth after playing. My haands sweat a lot and the strings look black fast.
Once a week or so I take a soft cloth and furniture cleaning spray (for wood), and wipe the body and neck. Last thing I used was a Ernie ball fretboard conditioner (which are wipes that contain lemon oil) for the rosewood fretboard of one of my guitars which looked quite dry. But as has been mentioned doing that is only neccesary once or twice a year. I keep the guitars in stands. -------------------- Guitars:
